Like the other sibling, I too really liked flash websites. Often they where creative pieces of art. I only started to dislike Flash when switching to Linux. You could only use the 32-bit closed official version from Adobe which was difficult to set up, or use an open source implementation but this one wasn't feature complete. Lots of websites filled in the technical gaps of html/js with flash, which made you dependent on it even for government sites. It wasn't fun to have a Windows partition just to be able to do your tax.
